I remember this when it happened. I was 9 so I was not entirely aware of what was going on but I knew it had to do with him being a black man and I hated that, it hurt to think people could do things like they did. I appreciate the information that I did not know about how they built their house. Wow. Such a sad thing.

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid and the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white mans used in the hands of them all like a tool
Hes taught in his school from the start by the rule that the laws are with him to protect his white skin
To keep up his hate so he never thinks straight about the shape that hes in
But it aint him to blame
Hes only a pawn in their game

Medgar Evers was a true leader in the struggle for racial equality.
